BCH chefs incorporate the hyper-locally grown produce into delicious meals
for BCH employees, community members and friends and family of patients.

Having a rooftop garden atop a hospital has its challenges. The rooftop
location and direct Colorado sun elevates the garden temperature, and
the wind can be harsh and cruel. BCH even hired a professional landscaper
to maintain the garden.

But BCH Food Service Director Tom Ingalls says the challenges are worth
it in the end for locally-grown, fresh and healthy produce in the cafe.
